"Brother Wan, don't worry. Leave it to me now. Once we enter the underground palace, if there is a fight, please form an alliance with me first!"
"Can!"
"Then I won't bother you anymore!" Yuan Ting bowed again and left the yard.
However, they did not go far away, but turned to another house in the village. It was obvious that they planned to stay there temporarily and wait for the underground palace to be opened.
Looking at the other person's receding back, Ding Dian's face looked a little bad.
"Sir, forming an alliance with Yuan Ting is like seeking the skin of a tiger. This man has ulterior motives, and he is the brother-in-law of the Luozhou governor. He must be trying to seize the fragments of the divine weapon!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu looked indifferent.
"Fight for it, the treasures of the world belong to those who are capable. Why, don't you believe in yourself?"
"No, sir, the two of us are concentrating our minds. He is a master of the Return to Void Realm. Although he is only in the early stages of the Return to Void Realm, he can suppress you and me. However, between us, I suggest that we find Senior Zhuifeng first!"
"Chasing the Wind..."
Hearing this name, Wan Zhuliu was also a little annoyed.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to look for it now, but that he simply can’t find it!
Not to mention Zhuifeng, even the people from the Yu tribe who were following behind him were now out of contact.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ding Dian with a serious expression.
"Ding Dian, tell me the truth. Where did the people who came here before go? This is related to how I can contact Zhuifeng and the Yu tribe scouts who came earlier!"
Hearing this, Ding Dian hesitated for a moment.
After some hesitation, he said, "Those below the Tongli realm are probably killed by the monsters in the underground palace just like the group of yamen runners we brought with us. As for those with higher realms, they may have entered the underground palace in advance, or they may have been affected by this dark place and gone elsewhere!"
"Didn't you just say the underground palace wasn't opened?" Wan Zhuliu frowned. "I've had enough of your nonsense. If you don't explain clearly next time, I really won't be able to help but kill you!"
laugh!
The pressure from his body spread out and locked onto the two of them.
This time, he used his true Qi to block everything around him, and employed the Qi and Blood Tracking Technique. Even if Ding Dian and Hui Yuan were ghosts, they couldn't escape his detection!"
But the two did not run away. They just looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed.
"Just tell him!" Huiyuan suddenly sighed.
"I'm sorry, sir. I lied to you. I'm not Ding Dian!"
Ding Dian gritted his teeth and blurted out.
"Hmph, I knew it. So when did you disguise yourself and get close to me? Was it on the way, or when you entered the village?" There was a gleam in Wan Zhuliu's eyes.
"No, it was at... the state capital!"
"What?"
…
At noon, Yuan Ting, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother…”
The Taoists who surrounded him spoke one after another, looking at the lake in front of them which was no longer calm.
Yuan Ting stood up and glanced at the lake, where the mist had almost completely dissipated. "Yin energy is descending, and Yang energy is ascending. Yin and Yang are intertwined. This is a sign that the main gate of the underground palace is opening. How did it suddenly open so early? Let's go!"
"Don't you want to call them?"
"This opportunity cannot be missed, we cannot delay. Leave one person to call them, we will go ahead!"
"Xingzhi, you're the best swimmer and good at tracking, so you should lead them here. The people from the Yu tribe are quite capable, so we must call them along. We can even let them fill the underground palace with corpses!"
The young Taoist who was called nodded, "Yes, Uncle Master!"
Then, the Taoists left the yard and headed straight for Xuanyan Lake. Taoist Xingzhi went around the corner of the yard and walked towards the yard where Wan Zhuliu and the others were.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the surroundings were silent, without even the sound of birds or insects.
The Taoist walked lightly, but one could still hear his own footsteps.
Snap... Snap... Snap...
But after walking about ten steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at his feet in surprise.
"Although my agility isn't as good as that of my uncles, I can still be described as being as light as a swallow. How could there be an echo?"
But when he looked back, there was nothing.
Thinking of this, he tried to take a few steps forward.
Snap... Snap... Snap...
The echo sounded again.
The footsteps...seem to be overlapping.
It was as if... as if there was another set of footsteps following closely behind him, keeping the same rhythm as his.
But when he looked back again, he still saw nothing.
A chill suddenly rose from his heart.
"The yin energy here is very strong. Could it be..." He didn't dare to think about it and immediately took a step forward.
Pah pah pah...
The sound was getting faster and closer.
Seeing this, he looked back while running this time.
Bang!
His footsteps suddenly stopped, and he saw a vine flying out from behind him, piercing his heart directly.
“Fake, fake—”
Taoist Xingzhi's breath disappeared immediately, and his eyeballs were filled with blue lines.
The next moment.
Huh!
He raised his head again, his face turned from blue to purple, then to red, and in just a moment, it returned to normal.
Soon, he arrived in front of the courtyard and said, "Master Wan, my uncle-master said that the passage to the underground palace has been opened. They can go first. I will stay and lead the way for you!"
"oh?"
In the courtyard, Wan Zhuliu opened his eyes and glanced at Ding Dian and Hui Yuan beside him.
"I'll settle your problems when I get back. Now that the underground palace is open, let's go!"
The two nodded and followed him.
Soon, Wan Zhuliu walked out of the yard and saw the young Taoist standing at the door. The Taoist was wearing a gray robe and holding a sword, looking very heroic.
